Why does trading always seem to be just one step away from stable profit? Many investors are asking this question.

To be honest, trading is not a simple matter; it is a systematic project. To succeed in digital asset trading, you need to follow three steps—

First, establish a replicable and stable profit system. Second, accumulate enough historical data to support your strategy, so it’s convincing. Third, strictly adhere to trading discipline and operate only within your own model framework.

But why do many people struggle to control their impulses? Fundamentally, it’s because of issues with cognition and understanding.

Imagine there’s 100 yuan and 10 yuan on the ground; you can only pick one. A normal person would definitely choose 100 yuan, right? No one would be foolish enough to pick 10 yuan. The same applies in the crypto world. The reason for reckless operations is the belief that the coins held can also surge greatly and make money, but in reality, they haven’t truly understood their potential. If it’s obvious that buying would only lead to losses, who would want to touch it? We enter the market to make money, not to do charity.

The key problem with the disconnect between knowledge and action is—"knowing" is not deep enough. If your understanding isn’t thorough, your actions will naturally be chaotic.

Therefore, improving cognition and judgment is the top priority. Once your understanding improves, execution will naturally become smoother.

Many traders only focus on the gains and losses of individual trades, but they overlook the fundamental fact that profit and loss come from the same source. Relying on luck to make money can easily lead to dependence. True experts focus on long-term stability.

Consistent profitability is not achieved by a single wave of market movement or a few coins supporting the trend, but by a stable, replicable model that has been repeatedly validated across many coins. That is the true essence of trading.
